It was reported that the distal filter was removed from the patient in an open state a sentinel cerebral protection system (cps) was used during a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (tavr) procedure successfully.At the end of the tavr procedure, the proximal and distal filter of the sentinel cps needed to be re-sheathed for removal.When attempting to re-sheath the distal filter numerous times, the distal filter slider on the handle of the sentinel cps broke and the distal filter would not re-sheath.The sentinel cps was removed from the patient with the distal filter in an open state.There were no patient consequences.
